Challenges Electronics Assembly Companies Know Too Well

Managing thousands of components, complex BOMs, and multiple product revisions with generic tools creates problems that slow production and increase defects.

BOM Complexity Overwhelm

Managing multi-level BOMs with hundreds of components, alternates, and constant engineering changes across spreadsheets leads to wrong parts being kitted and production errors.

Component Traceability Gaps

When a component fails or a supplier issues a recall, tracing which assemblies and serial numbers contain that lot takes far too long without proper systems.

Thousands of Part Numbers

Resistors, capacitors, ICs, connectors—electronics assembly means managing thousands of SKUs with different suppliers, alternates, and minimum order quantities.

Revision Control Chaos

Engineering change orders, BOM revisions, and part substitutions happen constantly. Without version control, you end up building the wrong revision or mixing parts.

Manual Kitting Errors

Kitting components for work orders manually from spreadsheets means wrong quantities, missing parts, and production delays that cost time and money.

Compliance Documentation Burden

Maintaining RoHS certificates, REACH compliance, conflict mineral reports, and component datasheets manually is a full-time job that still leaves gaps.

Trusted by Electronics Assembly Companies

See why growing electronics manufacturers choose Fiddle for their inventory, BOM management, and production needs.

Managing 8,000+ component part numbers and dozens of product revisions used to be chaos. Fiddle gave us real control over our BOMs and inventory. Our kitting accuracy went from 94% to 99.5% in three months.
